Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Peel and grate the potatoes. Rinse the grated potatoes in cold water and pat them dry using paper towels to remove excess starch.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir the ingredients until they are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until smooth and combined.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture into the potato mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring everything is fully incorporated.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, spoon the potato mixture into the pan and shape it into fritters using a spoon.
- Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Serve hot and enjoy your crispy, golden fritters!
Notes
- For a cheesy twist, add grated cheese (like cheddar or parmesan) to the potato mixture.
- Experiment with herbs like parsley, chives, or rosemary to enhance the flavor.
- For extra spice, add cayenne pepper, paprika, or garlic powder to the mixture.
- For a vegan option, replace the eggs and milk with plant-based alternatives like oat milk and a flaxseed egg.
- To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Reheat by frying or baking at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
- Use sweet potatoes for a variation in flavor and texture.
- To freeze, cool the fritters and store them in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend or chickpea flour instead of all-purpose flour.
